If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy mantoday, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. Iwould have given up all those intangibles,those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are toooften sacrificed when a man’s primary goal is financial success.
假如我一直经商，今天可能会相当富有，但我不认为我的人生会很成功。我可能会放弃一切无形的、金钱绝对买不到的精神上的满足；这种精神上的满足常常因为人的主要生活目的是发财致富而不可企及。

When I broke away from business, it was against the advice ofpractically all my friends and family. So conditioned are most of us tothe association of success with money that the thought of giving up agood salary for an idea seemed little short ofinsane. Ifso, all I can say is “Gee! It’s great to be crazy.”Money is a wonderfulthing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.
我脱离商界之举是与所有亲友的忠告相违的，因为我们大多数人习惯把成功与金钱联系在一起，为理想而放弃高薪似乎是发疯。如果真是如此，我倒要说：“咳，发疯可真好！”金钱是好东西，但可能为了金钱，我们付出的代价太昂贵。
